Nice! Sure would up the max load carrying capability.
The only drawback is I think the wheel would nix it from any wilderness areas though.

Definitely an intriguing design that could be beneficial, if the terrain that you are in would allow the wheel to operate as shown in the video, although I just do not beleive that the wheel will be very operational or beneficial in some of the areas' that we elk hunters' get ourselves into! :lol:

Very cool idea but it puts half the load on your spine instead of on your hips as in backpacking. If it was redesigned to load the hips more then it could be very useful.
